The camera focuses on an expertly plated meal at The Waterway Marriott. It features a nearly rare steak, cut into strips, and it's topped with a BBQ-like sauce, long and skinny mushrooms, orange flower petals, and sprouts. It is served with several cooked carrots (yellow and orange) and cooked cauliflower, and it's served on a thick yellow saffron sauce.

The camera reveals a wide-angle shot of the Xalisko dining room and bar from the front left corner of the building. There are a number of solid wooden tables that seat and are plated for four. The bar is covered in white, brown, and turquoise tiles shaped like flowers. In the back right of the frame is the rest of the dining room. The back wall features images of colorful corn cobs. On the ceiling is a long art piece of many interconnecting crocheted hexagonal panels. The panels alternate in colors of turquoise, lime green, dark forest green, and orange.
